MIX 3 QBANK Flashcards
(131 cards)
indications for melanoma sentinel lymph node biopsy
thickness greater than 1 mm
treatment of thymoma
all should be approached with aggressive surgical management regardless of symptoms
Including invasive thymomas with radical resection
Postoperative radiation can improve local recurrence if pericapsular invasion
perioperative management of myasthenia gravis patient for thymoma
stop Anticholinesterase inhibitor 72 hours before surgery - decrease his pulmonary secretions
Hodgkin’s lymphoma staging and associated cells
Reed-Sternberg
Stage I-single lymph node
Stage II-2 or more sites on the same side of diaphragm
Stage III-both sides the diaphragm, spleen is counted as involved lymph node tissue
Stage IV-disseminated and involved lymphatic organs
Constitutional symptoms designate B:
fever, weight loss, night sweats, pruritus
how are triglycerides processed
short and medium chain fatty acids
Tubes or by intestinal epithelium directly
how are longchain fatty foods processed
requires lipase
Transported in mixed micelles to enterocytes - then recent incised into triglycerides in the form of chylomicrons and the created in the intestinal lymph chyle
renal cell carcinoma risk factor, presentation, lap markers, site of metastases
major risk of smoking
Associated with paraneoplastic syndrome including: Erythrocytosis parathyroid like hormone: PTHrp ACTH Renton
LUNG most common site of metastases
Isolated metastases may be resected at time of operation
Treatment for renal cell carcinoma
radical nephrectomy
ONLY partial nephrectomy patient to require dialysis as a result of removing kidney
Brown-Séquard syndrome
presentation symptoms
Mechanism of injury
prognosis
injury to half the spinal cord
Ipsilateral loss of motor ( careful, this is opposite from brain)
Contralateral lots of pain and temperature
cause contralateral symptoms below level of injury:
Spinal thalamic
Posterior column
mechanisms of injury:
Disc herniation
Vasculitis and radiation exposure
Penetrating trauma
Prognosis: Variable
blood supply of cervical esophagus
inferior thyroid artery (branch of thyrocervical trunk from subclavian artery)
laboratory values associated with hemophilia
elevated APTT
normal PT and bleeding time
laboratory values associated with von Willebrand’s
increased bleeding time from dysfunctional platelets
laboratory values associated with vitamin K deficiency
factors 2, 7, 9, 10 protein C and S.
increased PT AND aPTT
trauma patient with hemophilia A which should be given
if no factor concentrate preparations care of
CRYOPRECIPITATE ( more concentrated in FFP)
fuel source for colon
Short chain fatty acids
butyrate
propionate
acetate
Large bowel is short
fule source for small bowel
glutamine
diagnosing Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
gastrinoma fasting serum gastrin will greater than 100 AND and a basal acid output greater than 15 consistent with dx
Secretin stimulation test increased gastrin greater than 200 (110-120) confirms
Imaging:
Somatostatin scintigraphy greater sensitivity than all conventional studies combined
EUS high-sensitivity for detection of pancreatic gastrinoma
not good for duodenal gastrinom
If cannot find gastrinoma:
-hepatic vein sampling with calcium stimulation
left congenital cyanotic heart defect
tetralogy of flow Transposition of great vessels Pulmonary atresia with intact VSD Pulmonary atresia with VSD Valvular pulmonic stenosis
management of wrist drop after mid humerus shaft fracture
presence of radial nerve palsy does not indicate surgical exploration in all cases
possible indications include:
Open fracture
Stab injury
most common cause mortality of cardiac transplant after one year
atherosclerosis Causes include: Natural disease process Diabetes Hyperlipidemia Smoking Chronic immunosuppression Opportunity to infection
first muscles to be paralyzed with neuromuscular blockade
facial muscles
first muscles to recover after neuromuscular blockade and
diaphragm
last muscles to be paralyzed after neuromuscular blockade
diaphragm
components innate immunity
complement system
Natural alar cells
Phaco sites
Epithelial barriers
